The Best Return On Our Investment

October 23, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 Where is the loyalty and self discipline today that is taught in the Word of God to maintain the order and security within our homes and our nation? Where are the morals of individuals today in our leadership and in our youth that are simply displaying something far from what is right by God and allowing their own spirits to run wild? Why are men and women in leadership positions not simply standing up in faith to proclaim what is simply right and wrong by God? Have we drifted so far that we can no longer stand for who we are as a child of God? Are we too worried about the loss of votes or the redicule that we may receive from the world in return? Since when did God say to give in and forget how to stand?

 Soloman teaches us in Proverbs 25, “Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, is like a city broken down without walls.” And Jesus tells us in Matthew 10,”But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father.” Within the Old Testament and the New God instructs us to maintain our self discipline through His Word and to never fall weak to the world in order to maintain what God has given. 

  There is strength and security received by God when we learn to be obedient to His Word. Within this security we develop a deeper sense of love through Jesus Christ who teaches us how to serve one another instead of only serving ourselves. Think about it; “If our home is out of control and we are constantly struggling  to survive then how can we honestly develop a deeper relationship with the ones we love?” Does this not make us vulnerable to the ones that want to see us fall and to the ones that are simply seeking self gain?

 The best treasure that we can ever receive here on this earth is the experience in true love that deepens our relationships with God through others. There is no better gift than to receive this treasure in the true love of Jesus because what else can out last the love that we receive? It is my sincere prayer that America learns how to stop and listen to recognize the signs and to see what we are missing. Who wants to build something without the glue that holds all together? Building is something that we should not do for the gain but for the love of serving others to protect what God has given…

We Are All Important In The Kingdom Of God

June 3, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest things to learn in life is learning to be patient and appreciate whatever position that we are in. So many people waste their life away not appreciating where they are because they are always looking for something else beyond what they already have. Life is not about challenging one another but learning to add value to each others life by learning to work together rather than on our own. Every single position in life relies on another position and it is when we neglect this fact that we need to take a step back to really understand our position.

 Where would a doctor be without patients? Where would the teachers be without students? Where would the employer be without the employees? Where would the business be without the customers? Where would the car be without the fuel? Where would the flower be without the bird to spread its seed? Where would the earth be without the sun? Or, where would we be without Jesus coming here to teach us how to be one?

 Until we learn that every single part in life is just as important as the next and begin to work together as one we will only continue to miss what we already have. I challenge you to slow down and appreciate today for what it is rather than focusing on tomorrow and missing something that you  have been given.

  Until we can learn to be affective where are why would we honestly expect God to take us somewhere else?

True Communication Requires A Loving Spirit

June 2, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 One of the hardest things to do when we are trying to build something in life is learning how to listen and to trust God for the outcome. So many times we get into our feelings when something is not going our way and we allow things to build that can cause a division. Learning to communicate in a loving spirit is vital to maintain our relationships with one another and just because we may not agree with what someone else may have to say does not mean that we do not need to listen.

 The Word of God teaches us that our relationships should be equally yoked because if one person carries all the load then it is only a matter of time that something could break. Each one of us have specific responsibilities to help one another reach what God has put before us in love and when we only think of ourselves then this only shows how shallow the love is that we carry. I challenge you to go the extra mile in what God has given and learn to communicate in a loving spirit to build upon what God has before you…amen 

 It is when we think that we have all the answers that God shows us how little we are…

Don’t Put Off What Can Be Done Today Until Tomorrow

May 31, 2010 by admin 2 Comments

  So many times in life we allow ourselves to struggle because we simply don’t do what God has instructed and we allow Satan to spiritually take us down in depression. Satan likes for us to put off what we can do today until tomorrow because he knows how weak we are in the flesh and how our minds become confused when we allow ourselves to get overwhelmed.

 When we put off what needs to be done today until tomorrow our productivity in life can be set back until we learn how to take care of what we have before us. I challenge you today to learn how to prioritize your daily task to insure that you are making the most out of what you have been temporarily given.  

 For what are we teaching our children if we don’t know how to stay focused ourselves to reach and maintain our goals?

Who Guides Your Decisions?

May 29, 2010 by admin Leave a Comment

 It is very important to examine the deep roots of our intentions, our goals, and our life ambitions to insure the right spiritual seed that is guiding our path. This examination is not only important before we make our decisions but it is equally if not more important to continue throughout our commitments as we begin to build our relationships, our careers, and our missions in life.

 When people don’t know God and understand how He is in full control they often make their decisions based on their own knowledge  or desires which can be driven through our emotions and selfish ambitions. Spiritually Satan wants us to make these type of decisions because he knows that when we don’t truly seek God in our decisions how easily they can be broken.

   Unfortunately, in today’s society many people make decisions that are far from God in hollow religion due to the influence of monetary gain and by trusting in man instead of learning to trust our Father in Heaven. It is in our human nature to want others to rely on us but when we do this then we are misleading the people because every single individual needs to learn how to rely on God instead of trusting in man.

 Through my journey in life I have learned how Satan can even mislead us even when we think that we are on the right coarse. The key to this is staying humble in the love of Christ without allowing pride to separate us from the people. There was once a point  that I would not listen to others because I thought that I had all the answers but there came a point that I had to learn a valuable lesson in allowing God to bring things together rather than trying to do it on my own.

 It is very wise to listen and then go to God in prayer before we make our decisions in life to prevent us from acting in our emotions which can cause a division within the body. The Lord speaks in many different ways to warn us, to guide us, and to help unite us but when we become so stuck in our own way then it is only a matter of time that we forget God’s way. It is important to recall that His ways are much higher than our ways and His thoughts are much higher than our thoughts.

 If we seriously want to maintain what God has given us in our homes, in our careers, in our churches, and even in our nation then we must learn to work together under God with mutual respect for each individual without divisions in the body. Spiritually Satan has done a good job of causing many divisions in this world because many people want to prove their own self worth rather than just being who they are under God and allowing Him to bring things together rather than trying to do it on our own.  

 Throughout history we learn of many great leaders who stood up in a time of need, not for the attention, not for monetary gain, nor for their own self glory. They did not have prepared speeches but they just spoke from their heart with God guiding their actions to help encourage and unite the people. It is vital in life that we learn to stand on the truth of God to maintain what we have been given because when we take it for granted then it is only a matter of time before it will be taken away.

 Every single individual has a purpose in life and we all add value to each other when we learn how to work together rather than apart. It is my sincere prayer that we put aside our differences and learn to unite for our children’s future in God’s glory rather than our own. May God be with us and give every single individual that reads this the wisdom to work together in the love of Christ to help rebuild whatever in their life that may be broken…amen    

For a decision that is right in the eyes of God is one that properly serves the people first and then if it is in God’s will then He will bless the people.

Don’t be like Eli in 1st Samuel and miss something that has been given by God. If you recall with Eli he did not listen because the Word of God was rare in those days and he did not recognize what was taking place until he saw the persistence of Samuel…
